What's new

Creepy Crawlies!

My Mom's last Monarch of the season. On my Dad's and nephew's hands.

Well, shoot. I didn't get my new camera until after we'd been clearing out stuff in our unfinished basement.
I'd found a couple of dead Daddy Long-legs covered in some kind of white fungus.
They looked like ghosts. Not crawly any more, but certainly creepier.
[edit]
It seems that they are quite common, if you google for images of daddy long-legs white fungus.
 
Was really awesome actually. I had no idea they would all be there so I only had my phone to take pics with.
At least the average cell phone is a pretty decent camera these days, but yeah I know how it feels to have such a great opportunity without your real kit.
 
Plant milkweed- they may visit you.
My mom has milkweed and a few butterfly friendly flowers, and lives just a few blocks over. She gets a few more than I get, but never anything like that. She does get a fair amount of caterpillars though. I may put some out next year and see what happens.
